Scars On Broadway - Kill Each Other/Live Forever (Song)
Kill Each Other/Live Forever is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their debut self-titled record. I’ll say right now that this track is extremely repetitive and there isn’t a lot of diversity in the song, but I’ll also say that Daron Malakian gives once of his …
Disturbed (Indestructible)
I’m reviewing the band Disturbed because they are by far my favorite band, and have been for years. Unlike other metal bands, their content is extremely original and they’re not just in it for the money and fame. I hate it when artists simply try and make their music …
Metallica - The Unforgiven III (Song)
The Unforgiven III, the third installment in The Unforgiven series, is quite a good song yet I’d probably still rank it as the lowest, or at least my least favorite, of the three pieces of the trilogy. However, before I get into the bulk of my review, I …
The way I am by Eminem
The way I am by Eminem is an awesome song that is a confusing rap to me. This song has a lot of cuss words in it but I still love this song because it talks about how a person to this guy is anything and everything that other …
Third World music group
One of my favourite music groups when I was younger was an international reggae band called “Third WOrld”. I find myself very priveliged to have actually be able to see them live then, and meet them after a performance, and they were one of the reasons why I decided …
Bob Dylan - Fixin’ To Die Blues (Song)
Fixin’ To Die Blues is a cover performed by Bob Dylan which appears on his self-titled debut record. I’ve read that Dylan’s version of the song is actually pretty different than the original because he changes around the vocal melody along with some lyrics so we’ll see how this …
Movin’ Out - Original Cast Album
“Movin’ Out,” the Broadway show based on the music of rock legend Billy Joel, enjoyed a relatively short-lived run on the Great White Way. Nevertheless, the original cast album is a great addition the the record collection of any Billy Joel fan, as well as anyone interested in the …
Album : Damon Fowler - Devil Got His Way (2011)
While this release is being marketed as an electric-blues album, the actual truth is that it’s a bit of a mixture. Across the album Damon Fowler flirts with a few different kinds of blues like swamp blues, delta blues and electric blues, but also adds some honky-tonk country elements …
Slick Dogs and Ponies, 2008 Album by Louis XIV
When this album was released many people were disappointed with it. To be honest, I was a little shocked when I first heard this record as well. The thing is, this album sounds almost nothing like the debut album by this band. Their previous album, released in 2005, sounded …
Valleys of Neptune abum by Jimi Hendrix
Recently I have purchased the Valleys of Neptune abum by Jimi Hendrix and in my opinion I didnt waste a single penny of the 11 dollars I spent at walmart. I love the cds there they are so cheap and they are very reliable when it comes to buying …
The Flaming Lips - Frogs (Song)
Frogs is a song by The Flaming Lips and the penultimate track on their album Hit To Death In The Future Head. Opening up with a confusing and dissonant sound, the bass and drums enter the mix to give the song a somewhat more solid foundation. Though I’m surprised …
Concrete Angel by Martina McBride
I’ve always love Martina McBride. Her songs always touches me and I can always feel the emotions of the song. I remember how her songs really makes me feel pain and happiness. Even if I’m not inlove, but I always felt inlove when listening to her love songs.
But the …

Canadian MetalCore band, The Agonist, is acclaimed for their hard-hitting riffs, lush guitar and vocal melodies, and brutal Death Metal growls and screams (done by female vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, no less).

BoA- White Wishes Song

Dont Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult

The Cranberries - No Need To Argue (1994)
“No Need To Argue” was a natural evolution from their previous album. The Cranberries recreated exactly what they’ve achieved on “Everybody ” except they did it on a different scale. Stronger, angrier, longer, the album has that self-confidence “Everybody ” lacked. Supposedly this mixture was the one which rocketed …
Eminem - Love The Way You Lie - Music Video and Single
I think this is another great effort from Eminem and it had a great music video to go with it. Most men would love this simply because he has used both Megan Fox and Rhianna in this video but there are deeper meanings for those who wish to look.
Eminem …

Tame Impala - ‘Cause I’m a Man
‘Cause I’m A Man is a song off of Tame Impala’s latest album, Currents, and it has been my most played song of the last month. I originally heard the song while watching a YouTube video and paused it so I could figure out what song it was, and …
TVXQ
I thought myself over and over that I’m surely cursed. That’s because I was not into any of Korean boy-bands, moreover Tvxq that I thought they were good for nothing, but I guess I was wrong and (cursed) because lately I’ve been addicted and listening to their songs every …

Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts
Rascal Flatts in known for their slow, romantic, beautiful songs but I think that this one is very special. They sing with such passion and in avery unique way. This song is about a man who is obviously in love with a woman who he believes is absolutely the …
Cheap Trick
Cheap Trick is a band that has been around since a few years before I was born yet they seem to reinvent themselves just enough to stay around.
They have quite a few decent newer songs but, when I listen to them, I still prefer the classics like “I want …
The Girl in The Other Room by Diana Krall
I love The Girl in The Other Room by Diana Krall very much. And this album has a very nice and gorgeous cover. Basically, Diana Krall is sort of playing and concentrating on her piano and her eyes are closed to portray a concentrated image; very classic and …

Album : Face Down - The Runaway (E.P)
Today I had the opportunity to check out a nice little five track E.P from up and coming groove metal act FACE DOWN. Before you say anything, no this isn’t the same groove metal band by the same name that were prominent in the late nineties, this is just …
Red Rubber Ball by The Cyrkle
“Red Rubber Ball” by The Cyrkle is pretty much the only song from this group that appeals to me. It is a pity that this song is on the short side with a running time of around two minutes and twenty two seconds and in that two minutes and …
Animal Collective - Chocolate Girl (Song)
Chocolate Girl is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their debut record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Similar to April And The Phantom, Chocolate Girl opens up with a fairly lighthearted tone before the vocals join in. Similar to my complaints on some of the other …

Slayer - Haunting The Chapel
Overview —“ Haunting The Chapel, Slayer’s first EP, is three tracks which pass by incredibly fast and all have an extremely aggressive feel to them. The drumming by Lombardo, who is one of the few drummers who I actually tend to pay attention to, is excellent as always and …
Megadeth - Black Swan (Song)
Black Swan is a son by Megadeth which appears on their record United Abominations. The track starts off with a fairly paced melodic lead guitar line which slightly reminds me of Iron Maiden. The verse soon comes in with a nice riff but the track unfortunately has a very …

Foreplay/Long Time by Boston
One of my favorite song by Boston is the song Foreplay/Long time. It is off their debut album anf Foreplay is sort of an instrumental that eludes into the track Long time. I have to say Tom Sholz is a genius for writing that instrumental. He even recorded the …
Love, Save the Empty Album by Erin McCarley
